Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for a chopper instrumentation amplifier. For a variety of applications, such as testing the resistance of connections between layers of a memory, it may be desirable to provide a high gain instrumentation amplifier. A chopper instrumentation amplifier may provide a high gain while allowing a wide range of common input voltages and a canceling an offset on the amplifier. An example chopper instrumentation amplifier of the present disclosure may include a plurality of amplifiers including chopper amplifiers and non-chopper amplifiers. The chopper amplifiers may use chopper circuits to cancel out an offset voltage of the amplifiers. Low pass filters may be used to minimize the impact of the chopper amplifiers.
